031611c She Came To Claim Poem by Manonton Dalan

sea has its own life to attest
holding her temper in protest
too much trash filling her bosom
farms run-off hurting her pets
her gardens are dying in minutes
rain not enough to cleanse her tears

today it has a chance to wipe-out
source of so much pain; her miseries
reach out; push everything on its way
deaf to cries, to screams of helpless
tears of living echoes through night
litters reflect yesterday's delight
